Electric shower in a shower box in utility room, 10mm t & e. water fed via plastic pipe from tank to roof above shower and then drops down in copper pipe to shower behind tiles. Does this piece of pipe need bonding to the t & e cpc. I say yes, my comrade says no.

WHERE IT IS NOT NECESSARY
TO SUPPLEMENTARY BOND
It is not necessary to supplementary bond items of
metalwork which are supplied by plastic pipes, as such
metalwork is unlikely to come within the definition of
an extraneous-conductive-part. Neither is it necessary
to supplementary bond short lengths of copper pipes
which are sometimes installed for aesthetic reasons in
an otherwise plastic system.
